About Me

If you are searching for a reliable, resourceful, and responsive tutor with extensive international tutoring experience (for GAMSAT, GCSE Maths and Sciences and 11+), look no further. I have provided tailored tuition in mathematics and sciences for well over 12 years at various levels — from elementary to A-levels. I have also successfully delivered 250 hours (and counting) of high quality GAMSAT tuition to satisfied students.

I am DBS-checked. Currently, I am a University of Nottingham graduate-entry medical student in the final year.

I sat my GAMSAT in 2018 with good scores.

I have a gentle and patient demeanour and approach, whilst keeping my tuition quite flexible and fun. My sessions are a safe environment where making mistakes is fine, and corrections are advised in a constructive manner. I do try to customise tuition to your learning style and strength. A strength of mine is explaining concepts that might be deemed complex in simple, digestible terms.

So, I am looking forward to having a one-to-one virtual session with you. And I wish you the very best in your exam preparation and sitting (be it 11+, GCSEs or GAMSAT).

My teaching style

My tutoring session utilises a pragmatic, practice-based approach (adapted for GAMSAT, GCSEs, and 11+ exams and subjects) . The method emphasizes the use of numerous practice questions, and using those questions as springboard to achieve 3 main objectives:

1. to elicit areas of weakness in need of strengthening (e.g., pattern recognition, speed reading, inductive & deductive reasoning or logic, mathematical manipulations and projections);

2. to efficiently explain time-tested GAMSAT (or GCSE/11+) tips and principles using concrete questions rather than in abstract form; and

3. to accustom the student’s body and brain to the rigours, challenges, and demands of GAMSAT/GCSE/11+ exams, enabling the candidate to develop necessary endurance, mental focus, and discipline.

You will quickly notice (if you haven’t already) that each practice question and test you attempt will boost your confidence and increase competence.

My past experience

I have successfully delivered over 250 hours of high quality GAMSAT tuition to satisfied students, in addition to provision of tailored tuition in mathematics and sciences for well over 12 years at various levels — from elementary to A-levels.

My Proudest Achievements

I have BA (Hons./summa cum laude), MA and PhD degrees. I have been privileged to author and co-author scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals resulting from various projects, and I have also presented at various scientific conferences (See https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=jX850sYAAAAJ&hl=en).
